Hangar roof collapse at Dulles.

An insurance assessor’s nightmare at Dulles airport due to the weight of snow. Two Global Expresses and one Gulfstream 550 at least are involved.

Great additional photos, note the text says the hangar is a few years old.

Initial reports from the scene state that welded joints failed.

The a/c at the back in the above photo is Eastman Kodak’s Bombardier Global Express, N620K.

Aviation week says the hangar was newly built, some of the planes are leaking fuel and those three are not repairable.

However, the photo above doesn’t make it look that bad.
I wonder what their tails look like?
